Calling All Green Parents! The Moms Clean Air Force Needs Your Advice

Calling all green mama and papas. We’re a varied group of bloggers writing for various audiences across the country, writing to support cleaner air for our families. We are the Moms Clean Air Force.

And we need your help. We want to know how to best engage the green parent community and motivate them to fight for cleaner air.

Because we need everyone to save the 17,000 lives the new clean air rules would save in the first year alone. The industry has lobbyists and millions of dollars. Some politicians (supported by polluting corporate interests) want to dismantle the EPA and gut the Clean Air Act, causing more hospital visits, more missed days of work and school, and thousands of preventable deaths.We just can’t let that happen.

What we have, however is simple, and powerful: fierce parental love. We just need to know how to channel it to protect children everywhere from dirty, harmful air.
